Former Mossad chief: Mistake to open Gaza crossing

T. Belman.  It is absurd to nourish them while bombing them. This is war.

Yossi Cohen, former Mossad chief, warns: Providing Gaza with water is the first blink in Israel’s policy; Gazan civilians also joined massacre of Israelis in border towns.

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen has called on Israel to stand firm behind its policies and not provide water to Gaza.

Speaking to Reshet Bet, Cohen said, “Do not blink in the closure, do not blink in the blockade. Bringing water into the Gaza Strip is the first blink in the Israeli policy.”

“Bringing merchandise in through the Rafah Crossing is a mistake,” he stressed, noting that Gazan civilians also took part in the October 7 butchering of innocent Israelis.

Cohen also emphasized that Iran was “100% involved” in the barbaric massacre on residents of Israeli communities near the Gaza border.

On the subject of the Israeli hostages still in Gaza, Cohen said that he opposes speaking with Hamas, but does not oppose various countries’ efforts to broker an agreement through which Hamas would receive some measure of compensation.

“We are working to free the hostages by means of a deal – indirect negotiations with Hamas, as we have done in the past,” he explained.

At the same time, he stressed, “There are rules for insanity as well, and we want to know that the hostages are being treated in accordance with international law.”

  1. I called attention to this article in one of my comments about a week ago. Cohen is spot on. Regrettably, the Israelis have yielden to Blinken and Biden’s demands that they let in not merely water but hundreds of trucks laden with food medicine, portable field hospitals, tents and other temporary shelters, and god knows what else. Of course Hamas will take control of these “refugee camps” the way they always have.

  2. I wish Israel would use her Nukes just as she should have in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and there wouldn’t have been murdered.

    I WISH THEY WOULD DO THE SAME TO HAMAS RIGHT NOW AND THROW IN HEZBOLLAH AND IRAN TO SAVE MORE LIVES FOR NEXT TIME THEY ATTACK!
